Congratulations to IFB Focus Short, Time Traveller, on Foyle Film Festival Award

Posted: 28th November 2017

Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB) congratulates the team behind Steve Kenny’s, Time Traveller, on winning Best Irish Short at the Foyle Film Festival’s Light in Motion awards in Derry. The festival is one of only a handful of International festivals with Oscar® affiliation and BAFTA recognition.

Produced by Collie McCarthy and starring Barry Ward, Time Traveller sees a Back To The Future-obsessed boy striving to finish building his own DeLorean replica before his family are evicted from their halting site. The film, which is one of the IFB’s 2017 Focus Shorts, received its world premiere earlier this year at the Galway Film Fleadh.
